So far so good, first character died of embarrasment, or was it hunger and lack of scrolls of recalls
Second character cleaned out first dungeon, killed Old Man Willow and got into Orc Dungeon finally. Got into a level with all '&''s. Moving in these ampersands would get me tons of messages of 'it died' and then in the end the game crashed..

What is 'Force Disarm?' ?
I quite like this contest. "Walking softly, carrying a big stick".
I've never done the spider quest in this fashion, they never knew what was coming, they just die in one blow, even the purple ones, never woke up.

Eh, dont worry about it, it is still a really good game, I thought the whole jedi thing would suck, but it is in fact quite interesting to play, I've gone thru 16 attempts now.
Some remarks :
- This game _needs_ scrolls of Deep Descent
- It is too easy to die and not generate a char dump, you should see how other variants deal with that, I lost at least 2 good chardumps because of this
- Not enough special boots !! One char was level 42, had awesome gear and boots [3,+6], ToME had the same problem by the way, maybe introduce more footwear ? Sandals, Dragon Boots, Shoes, etc ...
- It would be nice if the game would say which power was gained by ego weapons, this way I dont need to intently stare at the 'I'inspect information every time the weapon gains a level
- Maybe add some fixed way at the end of each section of the main dungeon to find out where the next section is, I still havent found within the game what the next section is. It's not crucial of course.
Good stuff,

Thanks for the suggestions. If I ever decide to revisit the game, I'll see about reimplementing them. It's been a really long time since I've done any *banding. Been too busy trying to get into photography that I just haven't had a chance.Comment

When Automatisers turn bad...

>> You destroy a Double-Ended Lightsabre...
Gah. That'll teach me to use the built-in Automatiser (i.e. squelch settings). I assumed that it was set to only destroy lightsabres for non-Jedi. Where's the best place to find a replacement, now that I'm wielding a bloody Magestaff?Comment

Do inscriptions not work against the automizer? In the NPP squelch model, the inscription {no} disables auto-destroy (squelch).Comment

Competition 80 is now finished; congratulations to Roch for getting the only game winner. And it's lucky he did, because my ranking system had totally failed, and most players were dropping lower on the ladder as they progressed...One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
